School Programs
The Rocks welcomes school groups throughout the school year. Children are thrilled to explore our property's many acres of farmland and managed wildlife habitat, where they can discover much about the natural world around them. Students are invited to learn about maple sugaring, New Hampshire wildlife, and Christmas tree farming.
Forevergreen Program
For many years, The Rocks has partnered with nearby Bethlehem Elementary School in the Forevergreen Program. Students begin the program in Kindergarten by planting their own Christmas trees at The Rocks and complete the program in sixth grade by harvesting the trees they've learned about and watched grow for seven years. Over the course of that time, children discover various aspects of a local Christmas tree farm, from how a tree grows and how tree farmers care for their crop, to what types of wildlife benefit from the ecosystem created by planting, raising, and harvesting Christmas trees.
The Forevergreen Program's curriculum may be adapted by any school with access to a tree farm. Many students enjoy visiting their trees with family members, beyond the school outings, so it's beneficial to plant trees at a place accessible year-round.
